A Comparison of Two Newspaper Articles
In this coursework 'B' I would be comparing two news articles from two different sources. This coursework will be divided into three parts. The background and context, the view of both articles i.e. use of languages, headlines, quotes used e.t.c the last part will be my opinion and the conclusion.
The main idea is to compare two news articles about a prison called Guantanomo bay in Cubaand how the prisoners are being treated, if the prisoners require a fair trial, if torture is going on and so on. These two articles are gotten from the internet the websites are www.dailymail.co.uk and www.bbc.co.uk. These two sources have different ways of reporting

The prisoners in guantanomo bay are about 450 from at least 43 different countries. The main reason behind the arrest is to find out if any one or groups of the suspected prisoners had anything to do with the September 11 attack. The Guantanamo bay is outside the US and it has a major difference between all the prisons in US. The difference is that the prison doesn't obey the UN declaration of human rights which is: right for free trial before being sentenced to prison, the right for everyone to be allowed any form of defence.g lawyers during the trial.
This two newspaper articles were derived from their websites dailymail.co.uk and bbc.co.uk are giving information on if the prisoners are being tortured. According to the BBC article prisoners do not have any contact with their families, they where just arrested without trial and they are facing interrogations with torture. On the other hand the article from the dailymail says that president bush denies having anything to do with the torture of the prisoners as he claims he didn't other anything of that order. But further in the article some secret white house documents showed us politician Donald rumsfeld in dec.2002 approved harsh interrogation techniques for Taliban and al qaeda prisoners at the us naval base in Guantanamo.
VIEW OF BOTH ARTICLES. (COMPARISM)
In the daily mail the topic is
and order and is not just a 'tough man'. But just like us and can be
This paper will explore three separate cases, providing facts about the apprehension and detention of enemy combatants, assessing the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, and will explain whether any rights were denied or granted in contrast with each other. Anyone engaging in aggressive or hostile behavior towards a country is held to several political and constitutional legalities as explored in the three following cases.
As part of the “war on terror,” the US began a revolutionary practice of holding "enemies" in military detention without charge and without according them basic rights. Guantanamo Bay is a notorious United States military prison, known for the frequent mistreatment of its inmates. Hundreds of people have gone in and out of GTMO, but none were afforded the rights granted to regular American prisoners. These inmates have spent years holed up in a secretive compound, where some aren't even cognizant of the charges against them. Furthermore, these detainees have reported incidents of abuse and torture, direct violations of the eighth amendment. Bush appointed officials, like Susan Crawford, have conceded that torture occurred at GTMO, validating claims made by those imprisoned. This controversial detention center is infamous internationally, as a 2005 Amnesty International report called the facility the "Gulag of our times.” The U.S. government opened this base as a holding center for the “world’s most dangerous criminals,” and perpetuates its existence to ensure national security. Guantanamo Bay may not seem relevant to most Americans, but its existence is a blatant violation of the Constitution, and foreshadows more encroachment upon the personal liberties enjoyed by
There are a tremendous amount of things in life that every student at Golden West College should know how to do. High schools do not offer classes that teach their students how to do certain things in life after high school, and instead teach them things that become useless. Therefore, once these students move onto college they think that they know everything that they need to know. However, that is not exactly true for a majority of them. In the article, “How to Make It in College, Now That You’re Here” Brian O’Keeney discusses many different techniques to help freshmen, and any other students in college that need the help. O’Keeney’s article is separated into three main sections to help the reader focus on specific things: good grades, organization, and mental health. Personally, I believe that organization and mental health is what students need to be focusing on the most. Once entering college there are certain things that some students do not know, and it greatly affects their mental health. For example, my best friend and i just graduated high school this year, and once we entered college we felt lost because of the things we did not know how to do. We did not know how to some of the most important things: pay our bills, make sure we received our financial aid, how to do our taxes, etc… All Golden West College students should be required to take two semesters of learning how to do some of the most important everyday things, such as: how to balance a checkbook, how to
These are some clear cases that states the government evidence’s . It is not difficult to conclude that this entire edifice structured by government authorities is unsound and false . The files revealed by guantanamo is not only a dozen prisoners but also those who are accussed of involvement in
Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a United States military prison located on the Guantanamo Bay Naval base in Cuba. The G-bay or GTMO prison camp was created in 2002 to detain extraordinarily dangerous people, to interrogate detainees at the greatest setting, and to litigate detainees for crimes they may have committed. After reading Guantanamo ‘Honor Bound to Defend Freedom’ my understanding of the ethics and efficacy of the Guantanamo detention center has changed tremendously. The book may be biased because all it talks about is the detainees that were mistreated, and doesn’t mention anything about the detainees that actually was doing very bad things, but the way Victoria Brittain and Gillian Slovo tell these sorrowful stories of these detainees that were treated wrongly you have no choice but to feel and question our Secretary of Defense. The book may be the story of the mistreated, but all take is one mistake for us to question our judicial and legislative
Published in 2013 by the Wallace Foundation, “Something to Say: Success Principles for Afterschool Art Programs from Urban Youth and other experts” is an expansive compilation of research into the lack of access, interest, and utilization of meaningful art programs amongst tweens and teens considered to be low income. Broken down into two chapters, the article explores elements such as stigma, parental values, safety concerns, youth opinions, and quality of art programs, as it relates to utilization of school art programs. However, the elements mentioned above are only a handful of the things captured and explored throughout the article. This information was found using various methods of research, but it seems as if focus
In the United States, one of the major methods in obtaining crucial information has been through the use of Guantanamo Bay. While many have condemned of the torture that is believed to occur there, not only does Guantanamo Bay comply with national and international standards, but it also complies with Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions (Meese 1) which states
Guantanamo bay detention camp is one of the most controversial topic in the area of international law. From its inception in 1934, when it’s 45 square miles of land was leased to the USA by Cuba for building a naval station, it has come a long way to become an epitome of torture, cruel and degrading punishments and various other human rights violation. The Guantanamo bay came into worldwide speculation when it detained more than 700 people, almost all Muslims, from Afghanistan and Pakistan, suspected of terrorist activities or association with a terrorist organization. This was in context to the 9/11 attacks when the Bush government declared a ‘War on Terror’. For over a decade under the administration
Two similarities and two differences between the following articles are that they both talk about CTE and why it happens, the two differences are that the article talks about the effects football had on older players while the second story talks about what could/can happen to young players of the sport another difference is that one article talks about if football is safe for children.
However, with torture being illegal on United States soil, there is a loophole in the situation. Places like Guantanamo Bay for example, are military prisons or detention camps containing prisoners being put through abuse and torture. Rayman’s article for Time magazine, "Guantanamo Bay Detainee Details 'Sadistic ' Abuse.", describes “a man detained in Guantanamo Bay for nearly 13 years has said he was subjected to ‘dirty and sadistic’ abuse at the prison...” (Rayman). Guantanamo Bay is located in Cuba. While Cuba has sovereignty over the camp, the United States total is being given total control and jurisdiction over the camp. Allowing the United States to perform harsh interrogation off our own grounds. Guantanamo Bay is sometimes referred to as a legal black hole. Meaning that in that space, our nation’s laws are not applied. If legal black hole isn’t the term being use, perhaps it’s black site. The term black sites refers to secret prisons operated by the CIA. BBC news reports, “President Bush has
